  1. none of my rabbit have ever learned their names. I doubt its possible. But its worth a shot.

    Give her a treat and say her name everyday. and maybe she will learn.


  2. First, I would hope that you named your bunny something short and peppy.  Like dogs and  maybe cats, a short one or two syllable name like Skippy or Fluffy, something that ends in an "ee" sound is most recognizable to pets because of the intonation of our voice when we say "come Fluffy".  It sounds high pitched and happy.  If she is already hand and lap tamed you are set to begin with her name-learning.  Get a carrot or treat she likes and when she starts nibbling it, say things like "Good Fluffy", and then progress to getting her to come to you when you are holding the carrot, "Here Fluffy".  Treats and positive attention are good motivators and just keep repeating her name in a positive manner.  After she is completely tame and used to coming for you with a treat, try calling her without a treat.  This worked for my bunny and even my hamster who knew her name!  :-) Good luck!

  3. Well, you can get papaya enzyme tablets as treats or other fruits and veggies that they enjoy. they will learn to come for the treats and when they come use their name.

    All 4 of my rabbits know their name and the command go home.

    For the record rabbits are very smart. Just look what these rabbits have been trained to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDocS5BfR...

  4. Always call her by her name, ALWAYS.

    Its very hard to get animals like rabbits and hamsters and such to know there names, but, you can give it a try. :)

  5. I'm not sure bunnies have the mental capacity to learn their names.... I could be wrong though, and if I am - good luck
